Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Template in a SVG context does not have any content (#744)

I think what we'd actually like is to open discussion about the potential for an `SVGTemplateElement` to be added to the platform (with otherwise identical behavior to `HTMLTemplateElement`, consuming its SVG-namespaced child elements into its `.content` fragment), or some other means of getting equivalent functionality.  

It seems like a hole that we have a platform primitive for parsing and then efficiently cloning copies of inert HTML but not SVG; and more-so that we're considering adding more functionality to `<template>` ala TemplateInstantiation which would currently exclude SVG use cases (despite the fact that a developer needing to repeat a list of svg fragments from a template is arguably no stranger than needing to repeat a list of divs).

Is that still a `whatwg/html` concern, or does it belong here?

Also, was template support in SVG litigated in the original `<template>` discussions and rejected or deferred for some reason?
